The Filmmakers

RODNEY ASCHERAbout the Director:

Rodney Ascherʼs films have screened at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The George Eastman House, and under the Brooklyn Bridge. His 2010 short “The S From Hell” also premiered at Sundance and in many ways laid the groundwork for “Room 237”. His genre-blurring work includes countless short films, as well as commercial projects for clients including EA Games, Capitol Records, and VH1. In his most recent music video he killed Matt & Kim, Soulja Boy, and Andrew W.K. He lives in Los Angeles with his talented wife, their clever baby, and a beautiful cat.

As a producer and screenwriter, Tim Kirk has sold screenplays and pitches to Universal, Sony Pictures, MGM, New Line and 20th Century Fox. His short film “Bewitched?” was featured at the 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival. Tim is proud to have written the narration for the Hall of the Crucifixion at Forest Lawn in Glendale which shows upon the hour, six days a week. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and 5-year-old daughter.

obsession with Westerns and many short films.

Featuring Music by: THE CARETAKER

The Caretaker is a long-running project by musician James Kirby. Initially the project was
inspired by the haunted ballroom scene in the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining, but
recently The Caretaker has shifted attention onto the processes of the brain’s
function in recalling memories.
